February 2010

Brenna spent another Tuesday morning at the library. The book of the day was “Curious George in the Big City” followed by a craft of making paper monkeys.

Thursday 2/18 – Brenna spent a bit of a beautiful spring day playing at the Loudon Municipal Park. She took a real shine to the climbing wall. She would climb it to the top to get to the top platform and ride the “hugh-giant slide”…..

With a dusting of snow on the ground – literally – the Loudon County Schools closed today, 2/16/10. Nicklas spent the day playing Guitar Hero clearing level after level on his way up through the game.

Even though a Winter Storm Warning shortened the weekend, we all had a great Valentine’s Weekend in Cincinnati. The highlight of the weekend was our time at the Newport Aquarium at Newport on the Levee in Northern Kentucky. Nicklas got an up close look at several species of sharks and was even able to touch a shark! Brenna got up the nerve to touch a seastar and seemed to enjoy the entire experience…except the room with the gaboon viper, cottonmouth, and reticulated python. She couldn’t get out of that room fast enough!

More Kudos to Nicklas! His Writers Fair paper earned him FIRST PLACE in the fourth grade division.

Brenna spent another Tuesday, 2/9/10, at the library for the child reading program.

All Nick would admit to about his dance Friday night, 2/5/10, was that it was ‘fun’……

Brenna spent Groundhog Day at the Library. She participated in the child reading program where two different books – one about Groundhog Day and another about a rainy day – were read to the children. She also participated in the craft time by making a groundhog. She spent the rest of the day with Mimi celebrating a ‘Ladies Day Out’ by going to lunch, the bank – where they gave her two suckers, and finally the cleaners – where they gave her a third sucker!

Kudos to Nicklas! He earned a fourth place finish with his 4H speech given in class on February 2nd!

Nick’s first dance, originally scheduled for January 29th but cancelled by last week’s winter storm, has been rescheduled for Friday, February 5th.
